Catholic Super to offer medical cover

Catholic Super has joined a growing number of superannuation funds that now offer their members discounted health cover.

The Financial Standard reports that fund members will now have the option to sign up to Medibank Private at a discounted rate.

The Medibank Private VIP cover includes no excess for children and a dental treatment twice a year.

The
fund's marketing and business development manager Robert Clancy said:
"There was an increase over the past year on enquiries if we offered
health insurance, so we surveyed our members and the insurance market
and found Medibank Private was the most logical option."

Clancy
said if Catholic Super members measured the new offering they would
find it compared well against other health insurance options in the
market.
